I just made a pot of white beans (great northerns) with a leftover ham bone and boy they were good! Soaked a pound of dry beans overnight, then in the morning I put them into the crock pot with the ham bone, a chopped onion, and 3 cloves of garlic. Left it on low all day while I was at work, and all I had to do when I got home was season the beans and cook some rice.
Another one of my favorites is a rice and lentil dish called mujadrah (I think there's a few different ways to spell it). I always get it at a small Greek restaurant near my house. They use brown rice and brown lentils, and must pan fry both before cooking them down because everything has a dark delicious coating on it. It has a wonderful flavor, almost like there's beef in it, and it's vegan.
I've been meaning to find a recipe for it, because it has to be simple to make. Anyone ever tried it or have a good recipe for it?
